NG_TEE(4)		     Kernel Interfaces Manual		       NG_TEE(4)

NAME
     ng_tee -- netgraph ``tee'' node type

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <netgraph/ng_tee.h>

DESCRIPTION
     The  tee  node type has a purpose similar to the tee(1) command.  Tee nodes
     are useful for debugging or "snooping" on a connection between two netgraph
     nodes.  Tee nodes have four hooks, right, left, right2left, and left2right.
     All data received on right is  sent  unmodified  to  both	hooks  left  and
     right2left.   Similarly,  all  data  received on left is sent unmodified to
     both right and left2right.

     Packets may also be received on right2left and left2right; if so, they  are
     forwarded unchanged out hooks right and left, respectively.

HOOKS
     This node type supports the following hooks:

     right	 The connection to the node on the right.

     left	 The connection to the node on the left.

     right2left  Tap for right to left traffic.

     left2right  Tap for left to right traffic.

CONTROL MESSAGES
     This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following.

     NGM_TEE_GET_STATS (getstats)
	  Get statistics, returned as a struct ng_tee_stats.

     NGM_TEE_CLR_STATS (clrstats)
	  Clear statistics.

SHUTDOWN
     This  node  shuts	down upon receipt of an NGM_SHUTDOWN control message, or
     when all hooks have been disconnected.  If both right and	left  hooks  are
     present,  node  removes  itself from the chain gently, connecting right and
     left together.

SEE ALSO
     tee(1), netgraph(4), ngctl(8)

HISTORY
     The ng_tee node type was implemented in FreeBSD 4.0.
